The Georgia Annwell Gallery

The Georgia Annwell Gallery, part of the Community Media Center of Marin, is located at 819 A Street in downtown San Rafael. The gallery was named after Georgia Annwell, an eclectic artist and prolific producer at CMCM. As a member of CMCM and the Novato Arts Center at Hamilton Field she created over 150 exhibitions while also working on the production of a three-part documentary series titled “Senior Artist of Marin.”

"Great art challenges not only the viewer but also the artists who create it. Most artists paint what they know and do it to the best of their ability. A few artists take on creative work that challenges their knowledge and reveals their inabilities. However, when they do overcome this kind of challenge, they realize that the rewards are huge. Artists who need ongoing reassurance that they are on the right track may miss the opportunity to reach past their comfort zone to experience the thrill of pleasing themselves with a painting that shares the truth of their view of the world."

The gallery helps to advance CMCM’s mission of promoting cultural arts, community media, and civic engagement by showcasing the work of established and emerging artists. Public programs such as artist talks, film screenings, art performances, and social events enhance our overall mission by supporting further opportunities for conversations to take place.

Marinship - What it Was

CMCM's latest exhibit, "Marinship," tells the amazing story of how a shipyard was hastily built in Sausalito during WWII. During it's three short years of operation, the yard produced 15 Liberty Ships and 78 Tankers. Speed, quality, and efficiency was the theme at Marinship during its entire time of operation.

Curator Eric Torney is a 4th generation California native. Living in Marin all of his life, Eric graduated from Kent School, Redwood High School, College of Marin, and U.C. Berkeley. He now regularly volunteers at Sausalito Historical Society and has produced several exhibits featuring Marinship.
